Leveling
These products have a 4-point leveling system.
The front is supported by leveling legs, the
rear is supported by wheels.
• Adjust rear wheels beneath the product to
just barely touch the 2x4 block.
• Turn the 7/16″ hex nut located above the
front wheels. Turn to raise or lower.
• For front leveling legs, use a 1-1/4″ open-end
wrench.
• Adjust carefully; the product should be level
and plumb with cabinetry, and should align
with toekick height.
w CAUTION–The rear leveling
wheels and front leveling legs are limited to a
maximum height adjustment of 1″. If the
installation requires more than 84-1/2″ height,
the installer should elevate the refrigerator on
a sheet of plywood or runners. Cabinetry trim
could also be added across the top of the
opening to shorten the opening. If you
attempt to raise the refrigerator more than 1″,
you will damage the front leveling legs and
rear leveling wheels.
See the Installation Instructions (Pub. No.
49-60073-3) for complete directions.
Refrigerator/
freezer
location
Do not install the refrigerator/freezer where
temperatures will be below 60°F (16°C) because
it will not run often enough to maintain proper
temperatures, and the refrigerator will develop
high internal humidity.
For proper installation, the refrigerator/
freezer must be placed on a level surface of
hard material the same height as the rest of the
flooring. This surface should be strong enough
to support a fully loaded refrigerator/freezer,
or approximately 1,200 lbs. each. See the
Installation Instructions (Pub. No. 49-60073-3)
for complete directions.
Clearances
If the refrigerator/freezer is to be installed in a
corner, a 4″ clearance is required on the hinge
side for a 90° door opening and access to fresh
food drawers. A 15″ clearance is required on
the hinge side to remove pans. A 25″ clearance
is required on the hinge side for a full 130°
door swing.
No other clearances at top, sides or back are
required. See the Installation Instructions
(Pub. No. 49-60073-3) for complete directions.

w MISE EN GARDE–
Les roues de nivellement arrière et les pattes
de nivellement avant permettent un réglage
maximal de 25 mm (1 po). Si l’ouverture pour
le réfrigérateur a une hauteur supérieure à
2,15 m (84-1/2 po), l’installateur doit élever le
réfrigérateur sur une feuille de contre-plaqué
ou des glissières. Il est également possible
d’ajouter des baguettes de finition des placards
sur le haut de l’ouverture afin de la réduire.
Lever le réfrigérateur de plus de 25 mm (1 po)
endommage les pattes de nivellement avant et
les roues de nivellement arrière.
